When making a right turn at a red light (where permitted), you must:

Most states allow a right turn on red after coming to a complete stop and verifying it is safe — but several specific conditions apply: come to a complete stop (rolling stops are illegal and frequently ticketed); yield to all approaching traffic from the left; yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk; check for cyclists in the bike lane to your right; obey any 'No Turn on Red' sign that overrides the default. Some states (notably New York City) prohibit right-on-red as a general default with exceptions only where signed. Even where allowed, right-on-red is optional — if you are uncertain or visibility is poor, waiting for the green is always safe.
